Even beyond the story of CV and things like Agent Smith Wesker, CV had some of the most atrocious backtracking and bland environments (probably due to going full 3D and not pre rendered). The first three RE games may not be long playthroughs, but CV overstays its welcome and don't even get me started on how you can accidentally fuck yourself and have to start the whole thing over from scratch or how the aiming felt really clunky. Coming from RE3, CV felt like a step back in every way except graphics.
If they redid CV, ground the plot a lot more, forget Steve exists entirely, have the game be about Chris/Claire/Claire's heart shaped ass only, make better environments and tackle gripes like having to go from one end of the galaxy to the other repeatedly as well as the capability to hard lock yourself from progressing. Also don't bring back Wesker at all and keep him dead. I actually like Matrix Wesker, but only in a way where you separate him from the RE franchise because he makes everything super goofy. It's better overall for the sanity of RE if he was just some backstabbing little bitch that got his back in RE1 and that was that.
The one positive about CV is that the knife was crafted by God and bestowed upon the player. That knife was a Dagger of No Bullshit +5. Maybe some people here think differently overall, but in terms of classic REs I think I may have played through CV like 2 times in total since it's such a slog.
